That's great if it works for you. I myself drove the same truck for 11-1/2 years and 217,804 miles.
Unfortunately the WNY winters were taking their toll. It had no rocker panels left, and the fenders were on the verge of rust-through. The brakes were shot, and the lines were one good panic stop from bursting. The transmission was getting vague, and slipped once in a while. The power steering would lock up and stall the engine from time to time. The front tires were just about to the wear bars.
